I have stumbled across a few projects that mention somethings called Furries in the Notes And Credits. I also have heard of this OC-like thing called a fursona. Can somebody please explain what they are?

furries are people who dress up as animals
and fursonas are their entirely original characters

also google is a nice place to go to

…not exactly - “furry” simply refers to somebody that is part of the “furry fandom,” which is a fandom centered around anthropomorphic animals and media containing them (e.g. Zootopia)

Furry- an animal-like person who resembles or has traits of animals.
Fursona- the persona of the furry. A persona meaning someone's character.

A furry means someone who adores anthropomorphic animals, especially ones that have human intelligence, wear clothing, walk, talk, and do human stuff.

A fursona is a furry's self as an anthropomorphic animal.

Don't call me a furry, even though I like anthropomorphic animals, like Sonic.

Correction: A furry is an anthropomorphic animal…

My definition is actually the correct definition. Look up for yourself.

K (googling…)

For me it says that a furry is an animal with human traits or abilities (Although I could be using a different source, want me to send you the link?).

That is incorrect.

Just googling “furry” gives this definition:
“an enthusiast for animal characters with human characteristics, in particular a person who dresses up in costume as such a character or uses one as an avatar online.”

Do you like anthropomorphic animals (like the ones in Zootopia)?
If so, yes.
